zeaxanthin is the dominant component, whereas in the peripheral
retina, lutein predominates. Mainly for foodstuff, pharmaceuticals

There is epidemiological evidence of a relationship between low
plasma concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin on the one hand, and
the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) on
the other. Some studies support the view that supplemental lutein
and/or zeaxanthin help protect against AMD. There is also
epidemiological evidence that increasing lutein and zeaxanthin
intake lowers the risk of cataract development.
